The 5 Unconscious Emotional Triggers that Sabotage 6 & 7 Figure Women

Happy Valentine’s Day! In honor of the holiday, I wanted to share some love and talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while when it comes to women entrepreneurs. There are two sides to every business: The practical side and the emotional side.

There is a lot of great information available on the practical side of entrepreneurship, but the emotional side rarely gets the time and attention it deserves and this is key to your business growth & personal happiness.

I want your business to become whatever you envision it to be.

Take a look at these five unconscious emotional triggers, decide which ones you’re tolerating in your life, and set a deadline to eliminate these from your life.” – Joy Chudacoff

Show Notes:

  • The REASON you may feel powerless at times in your business even though you are the owner
  • Why you feel EXHAUSTED all the time and what to do about it
  • Why it may be time to CHANGE your audience
  • WHY what you discussed at your family dinner table growing up could be hurting your business now
  • HOW perfectionism can have your business circling the drain fast

I say ‘unconscious’ and I use the word ‘trigger’ because so much of the time you don’t even realize that it is happening. OR you realize it is happening and you’re frustrated. It is something that you’re tolerating, but you don’t realize the toll that it is having on your business.” – Joy Chudacoff

Kara Goldin – Trading in Her Soda Addiction For Flavored Water and Creating a Multi-Million Dollar Beverage Company Along The Way

Kara Goldin on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

Kara Goldin, Founder and CEO of Hint Water, had given birth to her third child, lost some of the baby weight, but still found herself carrying an extra 55 pounds AND she had a serious diet soda addiction (10-12 cans a day). After seeing a physician who said he could give her a “pill” to “fix her situation,” Kara declined and decided to ditch the diet soda instead. What happened after that decision is nothing short of miraculous.

Kara has always been an incredible Moxie woman. Before starting Hint, she led AOL to a $1 billion enterprise as vice president of shopping and e-commerce partnerships. Kara is also an active speaker and writer. In 2016, she launched “The Kara Network” which is a digital resource and mentoring program for established and aspiring entrepreneurs.

She has been named Fast Company’s “Most Creative People in Business,” one of Fortune’s “Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs,” Forbes “40 Women to Watch Over 40,” EY’s “Entrepreneur of the Year 2017 Northern California,” on top of many more amazing recognitions.

You’ll love this show. Kara is quite humorous and at one point I’m laughing so hard I have tears coming out of my eyes!

When somebody was so negative about what I was doing, I really saw it as ’here’s an opportunity. The opportunity is there. This guy is really not going to go into it anytime soon, so it really gives me a chance to develop it’.” – Kara Goldin

Betsy Myers was a senior advisor to two U.S. presidents, most recently the COO of Obama’s presidential campaign and the chair of Women for Obama. Currently, she is the Founding Director of the Center or Women in Business at Bentley University. A leading expert, author, and advocate, Betsy also speaks at conferences and workshops around the world on the changing nature of leadership.

She did it all while being a mom for her small child at the same time. Betsy gives her true opinion of the Women’s March that happened in January 2017, and she gets open, honest, and real about some of her recent challenging life events.

I’m so excited for you to hear what Betsy is up to in terms of moving and shaking the women’s movement, her favorite productivity tips, and a whole lot more.

Rosie O'Neill on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

My guest today, Rosie O’Neill is an entrepreneur with a major sweet tooth. She is the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Sugarfina, a luxury candy boutique that started in Beverly Hills. Inspired by a screening of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on a third date with her boyfriend (and now hubby), Rosie and Josh dreamed up a candy boutique for grown-ups.

Named “One of the Most Beautiful Candy Shops” by Architectural Digest, Sugarfina is a luxury candy boutique for grownups that brings a fresh and fashionable approach to those with a sweet-tooth. Sugarfina is re-introducing the lost art of high quality artisan candies made by small-batch candy makers around the world.

Before candy, Rosie played with dolls as the Director of Marketing for Barbie at Mattel where she led a global unit that sold over 50 million dolls.
